PERPENDICULAR OF SOMERSET AND EAST-ANGLIA. 27 
sometimes instances of mere commingling. This practice 
seems to have gone on during the whole period of Perpen- 
dieular, so that, except by other details, it is impossible to 
distinguish between the * historically Transitional, such as 
we see in the transepts at Redcliffe, and the revived Deco- 
rated which occurs at Burrington. This mixture of Deco- 
rated and Perpendicular may be found in very fine examples 
in Norwich Cathedral, chiefly in the cloisters and the cleres- 
tory of the presbytery, in the desecrated chapel near the 
west front, and in the churches of St. Gregory and St. 
Stephen. Lynn has, in St. Nicholas, some splendid instances 
of the combination of Arch tracery with Perpendicular, 
and the clerestory, as we have seen, is purely Ogee. 
It is this mixed style which Norfolk has to set against 
the excellent pure Perpendicular of Somerset. The more 
strietly Perpendicular tracery of Norfolk is mostly very 
miserable and fantastic. It indulges in ugly shaped arches, 
tracery commencing without reason below the impost, 
transoms not going across the whole window, sides not 
strietly corresponding, subarcuations set askew, lines utterly 
unmeaning and indescribable, sometimes an utterly uncon- 
nected Flowing line or two introduced here and there. I 
will not enlarge on individual examples, but many will be 
found in the accompanying drawings, and some in my work 
on Tracery. 
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES. 
The absence of stone in Norfolk, and the necessary use 
of flint, has introduced the singular peculiarity known as 
flint panelling, so graphically described by Mr. Petit in his 
account of Wymondham. Somerset has nothing the least 
like this. A pattern, sometimes of very elaborate tracery
